FROM CRADLE TO GRAVE.
One OF the era ndsst Passages Of Prose
In the Language.

- S--O -
Born of love and hope, of ecstasy
and pain, of agony and fear, of tears
and joy-dowered with the wealth of
two united hearts-held in happy
arms, with lips upon life's drifted font,
blue-vsined and fair, where perfect
peace finds perfect form-rocked by
willing feet aud wooed to shadowy
shores of sleep by siren mother singing
soft and low--looking with wonde g
wide and startled eyes at common
things Of life and eay-taught by want
and wish and contact with the things
that touch the dimpled flesh of babes
-lured by light and flame ard charm
ed by color's wondrous robes learn
ing the use of hands and feet, and by
the love of mimicry beguiIed To utter
speech-releasing prisoned thoughts
from Grabbed and curious marks on
soilei and tattered leaves-puZzling
the brain with crooked numbers and
their changing, tangled worth, and SO
through years of alternating day and
night. until the captive grows familiar
with the chains and walls and limita
tions of life.
And time runs ON in sun and shade,
until the one of all the world is wooed
and won, and all the lore of love is
taught and learned again. Again
home is built with the fair chamber
wherein faint dreams, like cool and
shadowy wales, divide the beloved
hours of love. Again the miracle of
birth-the pain and JOY, the kiss of
welcome and the cradle song, drown
ing the drowsy prattle of babe.
And then the sense of obligation
and of wrong -pity for those who toll
and weep-tea for the imprisoned
and despised love for tile generous
dead, and in the heart the rapture of
high resolve.
And then ambition with its lust of
pelf and place and power, longing to
put upon its breast distinctions worth
less badge. Then keener thoughts of
men and eyes that see behind the smil-
ing mask of craft--fattered no more
by the ebsequious cringe eff gain and |
greed-knowing the uselessness of |
boarded gold and honor bought from
those who charge the usury of self
respect-of power that only binds a
towards knees and forces from the
lips of fear the lies of praise. Know
ing at last the unstudied gesture of
esteem, the reyereut eyes made rich
with honest thought, and holding high |
above all other things high as hopes
great throbbing star above the dark
ness of the dead-the love of wife and |
child and friend.
Then locks of gray and growing
love of other days and half.remember-
ed things - then holding withered
hands of those who first held his.
while over dim and loving eyes death
softly presses down the lids Of rest.
And so, locking in marriage vows
his children's hands, and crossing
Others ON the breasts of peace. with
babes upon his knees, the
white hair mingling with the gold, he
journeys on from day to day TO that
horizon where the dusk is waiting for
night sitting by the holy hearth of
home, as the last embers change from
red to gray, he fallseasleep within the
arms of her he worshipped and adored,
feeling upon his pallid lips loves last
and hOliost kiss-I Rob InOeraoll

The Commissioner of patents has
had prepared letter of instruction
and blank forms of application and
affidayits of witness for the use of ar
plicants for pensions under the Mexi-

correspondence, trouble or expense.
He invites direct application to his
office by expsctant pensioners. Upon

The Chemical Composition Of Man.

From chemical point of view, man
is.composed Of thirteen elements, Of
which live are gases and eight are
solids. II we considers the chemical
composition oi q malisof the average
weight of154 pounds, we will find
that he is composed in large parts of
oxygen, which is in state of extreme
compression. In. fact, Il man weigh
Ing 154 pounds contains ninety-seven
pounds of oxygen, the volume of
which, ut ordinary temperature,
would exceed $50 cubic feet. The
hydrogen Is much less in quantity,
there being less than fifteen pounds,
but which, in u free stale, would oc-
cupy u volume Of $500 cubic feet.
The three other gases are nitrogen,
nearly four pounds; chlorine, about
twenty-six ounces; aud tiourine,
three and quarter ounces. OF the
solids, carbon stands at'the head oil
the metalloids, there being forty
htpounds. Next comes phospho-
rus, twenty-six ounces, ami sulphur
three and a quarter ounces. The

Genius seldom Seeks Advice.

In my whole literary experience, l
never received but one manuscript from
young lady which evinced sufficient
genius to justify me in urging her to at
tempt literature as profession and means
of support. She possessed heaven born
gift, and without my advice the force of
her genius would have compelled her to
write.
believe more strongly each day live
that true genius or great ability seldom
seeks advice. It only seeks an outlet.
The artesian spring has to be bored and
its course directed The natural spring
forces its own way through earth and
rock. The woman who does not feel that
she has thoughts and expressions within
her strong enough to force their way
through every obstacle and to compel the
world to listen can never hope for marked
success in literature. If she feels that
unconquerable impulse towards creation
which is divine in its source and power,
she will not ask to be shown the way out
of the loam into the light. Success may
be long in coming, but she will win it at
last without being led into it.-Ella
Wheeler Wilcox.

In high protective tariff paper we
recently saw this evidence of innO-
cence and simplicity: ave want to
protect our manufacturers so they
can pay better wages to laborers." A
manufacturer who bases the wages he
pays on the amount of tariff on his
product, would be the rarest curiosity
ever seen in a dime museum. The
truth is the lowest wages paid to
skilled or unskilled labor is III the
protected industries; the nigh wages
we brag about are In unprotected i'll
dustrles, aud due s"iely 10 the de-
mand for labor consequent on the
subsection and development of our
immense territory and resources.
Tariff makes wages low because il
limits production to our own wants
and deprives US of all outside trade.

An engine has been invented and
constructed, which is moved by the
fluctuations of the sea. This new ma
chine has been erected in San Fran
cisco, by e. r. Steen. 1t is q very
simple continuance, but it is capable
OF exerting great power. A bridge is
built across q chasm in the rocks on
the shore. From this is suspended a
large paddle, and this is moved back
and forth by the action of the waves
Connecting with the upper part of
the paddle 10 plunger pump. which
has stroke of nine to twelve feet,
and this is attached to &C suction pipe,
extending out into the water. When
the fan is worked back and forth by
the waves, the water is forced into
the suction pipe. The force with
which the water is drawn up Is
sufficient to raise it $50 feet above the
tide level. The water drawn out of
the sea by this engine will be utilized
for various purposes. The cost of
running the engine is very small, as
it needs little or no attention. From

The people of the United States are
daily told by the advocates of pro-
lection that the tariff system does not
need any reform. and that any change
in it should be In the direction of
higher rates of duty. This daring as
sertion is made in presence of the
fact that under the operation of the
tariff. legitimate competition is stified
and the trade in many leading neces-
saries of living controlled absolutely
by monopolies. Here are some of the
monopolistic creations and out.
growths Of our iniquitous tariff sys-
tenn which have oppressed and plum
dered the people of this country
through the power which the tariff
has'conferred upon them: The Be-
setner steel monopoly, the crucibhe
steel trust, the nail association, the
coal combination, the coke combina-
ton, the lumber trust, the salt COM
bination, the fiour-bag trust the
Maine sardine fraud, the wallpaper
trust, the window-glass combination,
the barb-wire ring, the lead trust, the
school-slate trust. the sheet-zinc
monopoly, the Russia sheet-iron
monopoly.
This does not by any means exhaust
the number of fairfield imonopolies,
but the above will enable consumers
in the United States to form q very
clear conception of the extent to
which they have been plundered by a
system of legal fraud and oppression.

Northwestern Chronicles: With this
sudden burst of winter it is proper to
state emphatically the solemn fact
that the acquisition of alcohol through
the mouth lowers the temperature and
tends to make one cold. Science, of
course does not attempt to contradict
the fact that drink warns one at
first, but the effect is soon gone, and
then the drlnker is worse than ever.
A specious argument may then he
advanced in favor OF more drinks, but
If you want to keep warm, or as warm
as possible, don't drink.

Lord Macaulay, in his History of Eng

Newton two kinds of intellectual power,
which have little in common, and which are
not often found together in very high de
:eree. of vigor, but which, nevertheless, are
equally necessary in the sublime departments
of natural philosophy, were united as they
have never been united before or since. In
no other mind have the demonstrative faculty
and the inductive faculty coexisted in such
supreme excellence and perfect harmony"
